About Norfolk Island
Norfolk Island is a remote Australian external territory situated in the South Pacific Ocean, approximately 1,400 kilometres east of Brisbane. The island has a total area of 38.6 square kilometres and is home to around 2,188 residents, giving it one of the smallest and most tightly-knit community populations of any Australian territory. With a subtropical climate and striking natural landscapes, it is classified as a locality within the Other Territories statistical division.
The island is celebrated for its spectacular scenery, including the Norfolk Island National Park, towering Norfolk Island Pines, and pristine coastlines. Tourism is a mainstay of the local economy, supported by a rich cultural history tied to the descendants of the Bounty mutineers from Pitcairn Island. Daily life moves at a gentle pace, and the community is known for its warm hospitality, heritage festivals, and strong sense of place.
Norfolk Island falls under postcode 2899 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA).
